Highlights
Living a rich life is about experiences, not stuff – our spectacular backyard is full of adventure and we want to share it with you. Get out of your comfort zone and be rewarded as we conquer the highest waterfall cable climb in the world. Our Level 1 climb involves approximately 45mins of physical climbing and 4 bridge crossings. Our Via ferrata tour is perfect for those who love the outdoors, waterfalls and beautiful places. It is suitable for beginners, families and hesitant adventurers with basic fitness. No experience required. Your tour starts at the waterfall where your friendly guide will fit your safety gear and teach you how to use the equipment before starting the climb. You will be climbing on steel ladder rungs and crossing wire bridges to finish at a beautiful picnic spot. We then walk down a mountain trail and back to the base. If you are more adventurous and are looking to explore more in this incredible vertical world, we recommend our intermediate Level 2 climb.

5Best morning activity! This rock climbing adventure was incredible. Big shout out to Rachel our guide.
Great guide, must do activity for everyone to bring out their inner child. Highly recommend!
5Very special experience
100% recommend this to anyone who likes the outdoors and has an adventurous spirit! I am afraid of heights but like to challenge myself and like adventures which is why I booked the tour (Level 1). It was a lot of fun so I decided to upgrade to Level 2 after completing the first part and getting a feel for it. The Level 2 was definitely a lot more mentally challenging than the first one and physically more demanding, how ever our guide (Emelie) was so calm, skillful and creating a safe environment that she helped me push through. The feeling at the top after completing the climb is so rewarding and you feel very connected with nature. Very thankful I got to experience this and would 100% book with them again!
5Another adventure ticked off!
I spent a few weeks in Wanaka and because I had never done rock climbing I was keen to try it out. It was an exhilirating experience and a little challenge for me at 80 but surprisingly I found it fun and was looked after well by Luke. For sure if you have an adventurous spirit do try this out. Thank you for a fun time Wild Wire.🧗♀️
5Level 1 wildwire tour
This tour looked exciting online but I found it confronting once through the wooden door off the cliff edge. If it wasn't for the amazing guide Ben, I wouldn't have completed the tour. He talked me through each stage and made me feel safe and encouraged me the whole way. So glad I did it and I would definitely do it again 😊. The walk back down was just as spectacular as the climb!!!!
5Do this if you're in Wanaka
Loved this experience, was truly a lot of fun! If you enjoy thrills, this is one to do. The guides teach you everything you need to know and you then do a small practice run before setting out. The views are incredible and the climb was something new for me. We're planning to return for level 2!
5Don't miss this opportunity!
This is honestly one of our most memorable experiences in New Zealand. The company is top-notch - safe, professional, and with extremely knowledgable and experienced guides. Shane was so great. We learned so much about the area, climbing, and life in general. We loved talking to him and he kept us safe every step of the way. Also, lunch was delicious!

Wānaka sits at the southern end of Lake Wānaka in the Otago region of the South Island, with mountains rising on every side. A path follows the lakefront past the lone willow that stands in the water, which has become a symbol of the town.
